Cottage Grove, OR-September 1, 2010- Danny Lasoski certainly didn't forget how to get to Victory Lane with the World of Outlaws, despite having gone 77 consecutive races without a victory dating back to July of 2009. He returned to a very familiar place on Wednesday night and that was the winner's circle at Cottage Grove Speedway in Oregon, as he scored his first win of 2010 and the fourth of his career with the series at the high-banked ¼-mile bullring.

Lasoski took the lead from Craig Dollansky coming off turn two on the 23rd lap and would pace the remainder of the 40-lap contest, using four strong double file restarts to stay out front. For the 2001 World of Outlaws champion, the $10,000 win was the 87th of his career with the series.

AKWESASNE, NY - Sept. 1, 2010 - Josh Richards of Shinnston, W.Va., registered the biggest win of his career on Wednesday night, capturing the rescheduled World of Outlaws Late Model Series ‘Battle At Eastern Door’ at Mohawk International Raceway.

The triumph was important to the 22-year-old sensation for many reasons. It broke him out of a summer slump, brought him a personal-high feature-win payoff of $20,775, pushed him back into the WoO LMS points lead and, most notably, gave him his long-awaited first 100-lap A-Main checkered flag as a dirt Late Model driver.

“It feels great to finally win one of these 100-lappers,” said Richards, who earned his series-leading seventh victory of the 2010 season. “This isn’t a crown-jewel event, but it’s a 100-lapper and that’s all that matters. We... [Read More]
